Yoga At Ladaka
Understand your individual constitution and learn how to bring about balance and health. Ayurveda is about prevention of disease and maintaining good health. It offers remedies for imbalances and diminished health. In this workshop you will discover your individual dosha (natural mind/body constitution) and discuss steps to sleep well, digest well, and have energy throughout the day! Use Ayurvedic principles to improve wellness and create joy in life! Explore how things get out of balance and make gentle changes to shift into your natural balance and create radiate health. From an Ayurvedic perspective: notice how likes and dislikes, current state of state of mind, chronic challenges and life-style habits all influence your state of health. We look for disturbances in all aspect of the life. Too much of a good thing, or not enough, will bring us out of balance. Ayurveda brings us back to natural, radiant health.

The property of Ladaka was a dairy farm in the early 1900’s. In 1980, Jackie Thompson purchased the abandoned property, restored the dairy barn for her Arabian horses and built a two-story home attached to the barn. She named the farm “Ladaka,” after the mountain region in the Himalayas bordering India and Tibet, which she learned about from the book, The Lost Horizon, featuring the peaceful Buddhist people of Tibet and their tranquil, harmonious way of life. In 2005, Jackie’s son, Steve and his wife, Marti acquired the 75-acre farm, and in 2008 transformed the horse stalls into a yoga studio and decided to keep the name Ladaka, as it holds the same intention for them: peace, harmony, gratitude and wholeness.
